PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Roland Deschain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dolph Fredriksson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Deschain might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to nightrain. Fredriksson has chosen He-Man Theme and Yelling as his entrance music. Dolph Fredriksson told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
